The Secret of the True Body (Part One)

"Ke-ke-ke-ke, how interesting!"

The sinister laughter from behind made the Flame Giant whip around. Only then did it spot Reilo standing majestically amid the deep abyssal blizzard.

"Master, help me!"

The middle-aged scholar from Grand Natural Sciences Academy had lost the support of his true body. Like a man who had spotted a lifeline, he immediately looked toward Reilo and cried, "All the premium Ice Marrow here is yours!"

Despite his words, he saw that Reilo was relying on only a thin layer of Lava Fire to hold back the blizzard. Reilo hadn't even activated his true body, so Ragness didn't dare attack rashly.

For a Level 3 scholar, the quality of their true body often determined the extent of their power.

It was no wonder Gubo had once taught Reilo that creating a true body was tantamount to forging a magical artifact.

A low-grade true body, such as one formed through fusion, usually boosted a scholar's strength by only around 200 degrees.

That was enough to overwhelm low-level scholars, but it was nothing compared with high-quality true bodies.

That was also why Bio-Exterminator Xixi Li had proposed setting the minimum attack power for Level 3 Extraordinary Scholars at 300 degrees.

Mid- and high-grade true bodies still provided scholars with a simple boost in degrees, but that boost often reached 300–400 or even 400–500 degrees.

The Xilan scholar's Flame Giant true body, for example, was mid-grade.

It boosted his power by roughly 320 degrees.

Generally speaking,

to reach the high-grade level, scholars who had grasped Evolution's Profound Meaning needed to use a Legendary Creature as a template and shape its structure with large quantities
